-19- <br /> Based on our limited explorations, it is our opinion that seepage en- <br /> countered in the test pits was due to perched water pockets, and not a <br /> static groundwater level . If, during construction, a continuous source <br /> of water is found in cut slopes, permanent drainage provisions will need <br /> to be addressed. <br /> In the vicinity of the proposed detention pipe at Hall Park, moderate <br /> seepage and caving was encountered below a depth of 7 feet. If con- <br /> struction excavations extend below this depth, slopes may need to be <br /> flattened for stability purposes, or shoring may be required. It is <br /> expected that construction groundwater management to depths of about 10 <br /> feet can be accomplished with sumps and pumps. <br /> Large boulders (erratics) may be encountered during grading operations. <br /> If removal of such boulders results in excavation below planned subgrade <br /> elevation, the hole should be cleaned and then backfilled with fill com- <br /> pacted to the appropriate density. <br /> CLOSURE <br /> This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the owner and his <br /> design representatives to aid in the design of the project as described <br /> at the beginning of this report. The findings and recommendations were <br /> prepared in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering <br /> principles and practice. We make no other warranty, either express or <br /> implied. <br /> The findings and recommendations are based on our field explorations, <br /> combined with an interpolation of soil and groundwater conditions be- <br /> tween and beyond the exploration locations. If conditions are encoun- <br /> tered during construction that appear to be different from those that <br /> are described in this report, this office should be notified so that we <br /> may review and verify or modify our recommendations, as appropriate. <br />
